Episode 7 - French Open Preview: Rafa Will Win Again, But For the Women: Barty, Swiatek, Sabalenka, and a Dark Horse?

  • Summary

  • We preview the French Open: Rafa Nadal’s road to 14 (or more importantly, 21), Novak Djokovic, and who has an easy draw even though they’ll end up losing to Nadal anyway. On the women’s side (8:47), we talk about the three favorites in Ash Barty, Iga Swiatek, and Aryna Sabalenka, plus some other big names and a possible dark horse that may get big in Paris. We close with our final four (19:55), and this was way shorter than we wanted.

    Congratulations to UIL 6A Boys’ Singles State Champion Tyler Stewart, and we apologize we were not able to get the interview on this episode due to technical difficulties (that were caused by Nathan).
